MMPA's Fall Tech Ed 2018 

"This fall, the MMPA will offer hands-on machinery demonstrations ranging from moulders to sanding equipment at the Stiles Machinery showroom facilities in High Point, NC. There will be two full days of education focused on plant operations and new technology with a visit to the Axalta Color Studio. On the third day of the program, the attendees will have an opportunity to tour various plants in the area, one of which is Mannington Wood & Laminate Floors. The program will close at the Weinig showroom in Mooresville.  The MMPA Fall Tech Ed & Plant Tours is highly rated for its education and networking opportunities. It is the gathering event for the plant operations personnel."
